10 Simple Things You Can Do On a Long Flight To Make the Journey Less Painful

Flights aren’t always meant to be a pain. If you plan what you’re going to do upfront, you won’t die of boredom.

You’d be able to survive a 15-hour flight. This is what you need to do.

1. Befriend Your Aisle-Mate

Yes, chat up a random person and find out more about what they do and where they’re going. No harm ever came from getting a new friend.

2. Create a Mini Bucket List

Make plans on what you want to do on your trip, and save time for later.

3. Read a Book

Boring, you think. Well, think again because nothing’s worse than sitting on a flight with nothing to do. Even reading’s better than that. Bring a novel along or buy one at the airport just before you board. You’re officially occupied for at least 5 hours.

4. Go Online

Aeroplanes these days come equipped with free Wi-Fi. Some charge around $10 dollars. You’ll be able to access all your social media accounts, and time will pass without you even knowing it.

5. Sleep

Nothing beats a few hours of shut-eye. You’ll be fresh and ready to go the moment your plane lands!

6. Write In Your Journal

You’ve always wanted to write your thoughts down and re-access your life. This is the perfect window to do just that!

7. Get Playing

Get a few apps ready for you to hit at while you’re flying.

8. Colour Your Time Away

Yes, take out your colouring book and pencils and fill in the spaces. You know you want to.

9. Stuff Your Mouth

There’s a reason why snacks and refreshments are available on the flight, right?

Get Your Headphones on for Music

Pick out your favourite playlist on your iTunes app, or use the in-flight entertainment selection. Forgot your headphones? Get one from the air hostess.
